Cars To Be Assembled Atom By Atom
Roland Piquepaille writes "In a new article, the Detroit News says that the adoption of nanotechnology by car manufacturers will produce safer, lighter and cheaper vehicles. While GM is already using nanocomposite materials for several vans, Ford is developing new nanoengineered catalysts to replace platinum. The newspaper gives other examples, such as auto-adaptive suspension systems, scratch-resistant paints or nanocoated windshields which will not crack. In fact, all parts in a car can be improved by using nanotechnology, according to the article. And if automakers are only going to introduce limited amounts of nanotechnology-related products in the next few years, their usage should be widespread within ten years. More details are available in this overview."
Hello, welcome to Johnnycab..
"DRIVE, DRIVE!!"
Please state your destination
"ANYWHERE, JUST GOOOO!!!"
Please state a specific address
"SHEET, SHEEEEETTT!!!!"
I'm sorry, that is not a valid address
"RAAHHHHHHHHH"
(Rips the Johnny Cab out of its seat)
From that commercial where they build that car from legos.
Somehow i feel sorry for the poor people assigned the job of actually putting them together.
GAAH! MY PRINTER IS ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!
Etcetera. Sigh.

I didn't realize that was such a big problem.
"Any part of the car that's made has the potential to be improved by nanotechnology," Messner said, "because ultimately materials and parts are made out of atoms and molecules."
Oh, right.
The cars produced by nano technology are only 2 mm long at most so getting in to them will be a bit of squeeze.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
Well, give the US auto industry enough time, they'll find a way to reconstruct dinosaurs atom by atom, then kill them, put em in the ground, and turn them in to oil. Yay, another 50 years of oil and it only took a trillion tons of biomass to die to do it!

My oldfashioned car also does nanotechnology. It makes carbon dioxide and water (and some other chemicals too) atom by atom from the petrol in its fuel tank. And it can do that whilst moving too! Sounds unbelievable isn't it?

You see, if you grow your own car, you'd be infringing on the car company's copyright. (The car companies have have a non-expiring copyright on all Cars®, you see.)
Furthermore, growing your own car will be a felony punishable by a $1,000,000 fine and 30 years in Federal Pound-Me-In-the-Ass prison under the DMCLFMBBC (Digital Millenium Copyrights Last For a Millenium to Benefit Big Companies) Act of 2007.
Oh, and you might as well not even bother to try and download a car since your computer will just blow up anyways.
I'm going to trim and rephrase a bit..
Hahahahhahaha! Sorry, but those links are just too much.
What if we get drafted? What if oil runs out? What if the stock market crashes? WHAT IF WE'RE INVADED BY GREEN PLUTONIANS?!?!
Please. Buy my book to find out the answers to these and other perfectly reasonable questions. And remember, The World Is Coming to an End.

You download open-sourced plans ;P

You also forgot the other reason that SUV's are creating more soccer-mom accidents.
SUV's work to hinder Darwin's theory.
After all, evolution doesn't work right if the incompetent are prevented from dying due to their incompetence.

The dinosaurs wouldn't have to be functional, they would just have to decay properly, so all of the early versions could be put to good use even if the cloning part went slightly askew*. Yay - genetic experimentation without all of the nasty public relations fallout!

I want to drag this out as long as possible. Bring me my protractor.
Diminishing resources won't be a problem. With nanotechnology we can make cars that are very, very small.
If you've got a machine that can
assemble, say, one billion atoms per second, your car
should be ready in about 10 million years.
...once the phosphorous got going, the nickel would act somewhat like magnesium. Is that a distress flare in your pants or are you just pleased to see me? (-:
Got time? Spend some of it coding or testing
So instead of the earth being turned into grey goo, it'll get turned into one giant Ford Falcon instead?
